Crime and extortion continue to increase, affecting even the most popular musical groups. The Only Tropical one of the most beloved cumbia orchestras in the country, suffered a gunshot attack while heading to Lima to fulfill a series of commitments. This incident, which was reported on Sunday, December 1, has left its members and followers in a state of shock.
Artists and technical team of La Única Tropical experienced moments of terror

A video circulating on social media shows the terrified drivers, asking if there were any injuries. In the midst of the chaos, the members of La Única Tropical tried to remain calm and support each other, reflecting the anguish experienced in the artistic environment in the face of the growing wave of violence.
Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, but the incident has left deep concern in Sechura’s group and the artistic community.
Extortion: a latent problem for La Única Tropical
The businessman Walter Chunga owner of the group, has opted for silence after this violent episode. However, it has been revealed that La Única Tropical has been the victim of extortionists in recent months, who demand million-dollar sums of money to allow them to work without problems. This situation has led the orchestra to redouble its security measures, evidencing the serious threat they face in their daily lives.
It should be noted that La Única Tropical is at the peak of its popularity. Their recent hits, such as ‘Partido en dos’ and ‘Tattoo’, have accumulated millions of views on digital platforms, becoming the most requested songs in their live performances.
